1 Kings 7:38-46

38Then he made ten bronze basins  — each basin held 220 gallons and each was six feet wide — one basin for each of the ten water carts.

39He set five water carts on the right side of the temple and five on the left side. He put the basin near the right side of the temple toward the southeast.

40Then Hiram made the basins, the shovels, and the sprinkling basins. So Hiram finished all the work that he was doing for King Solomon on the Lord’s temple:

41two pillars; bowls for the capitals that were on top of the two pillars; the two gratings for covering both bowls of the capitals that were on top of the pillars;

42the four hundred pomegranates for the two gratings (two rows of pomegranates for each grating covering both capitals’ bowls on top of the pillars);

43the ten water carts; the ten basins on the water carts;

44the basin; the twelve oxen underneath the basin;

45and the pots, shovels, and sprinkling basins. All the utensils that Hiram made for King Solomon at the Lord’s temple were made of burnished bronze.

46The king had them cast in clay molds in the Jordan Valley between Succoth and Zarethan.
